Straight out of Trenton, New Jersey, Yung Croc is carving his lane in the game. With emotion, real-life experience, and heart in every line, Croc is here to talk to the people — not just say anything to them. We got the chance to hear directly from the rising artist himself.
The Beginning
Q: For those who don’t know you yet — who is Yung Croc? Where are you from and how’d you get into music?
I’m from Trenton, New Jersey. When I first got into music, it was when I would watch a close friend of mine record. He was so good, it inspired me to give it a shot.
The Sound
Q: What would you say separates your sound from other artists coming up right now?
What separates my sound from others is that you can feel what I’m saying. I’m trying to talk to the people, not just say anything to them.
Defining Track
Q: Is there a specific track or project you’ve dropped that you feel really defines you as an artist?
Yes, the song is called “Stick By My Side.” I put emotion in there.
Creative Process
Q: What’s your creative process like — do you freestyle, write, or go off the vibe?
I like to write and go off the vibe. I’ll freestyle sometimes to have bars to write.
Inspiration
Q: Who or what inspires you most when you’re making music?
Who inspires me is my lost friend Big T Block. I only wanted to go to studio sessions for the vibe and to hear him make music, but he inspired me to try.
Biggest Challenge
Q: What’s been the biggest challenge you’ve had to overcome in your journey so far?
My biggest challenge so far is doing this independently. I invest in me and I support myself most of the time.
What’s Next
Q: What can fans expect from you next? Any upcoming releases, visuals, or collabs?
I have a few upcoming releases, and I should be working on 2 songs with an artist from Houston — D-Rawww.
Stay locked in with Yung Croc — an artist driven by emotion, legacy, and the independent hustle.
